I work in an industry where costs are subject to heavy controls among many of my prospective clients -- to the point where I don't even bother working for many of them.

So the end result is that these clients get inexpensive professional help, and they get third-rate professionals to work for them. The end result is that they get what they pay for -- and it shows.

A measure to allow imports of these drugs will do far more to fix this problem than any price controls will.

I’d call for a mixture of both, laws to help hold the line on exploding out of control domestic drug costs and possibly the importation of cheaper alternatives provided that quality control is in place. But in either case something must be done to help control the burgeoning costs of prescription drugs domestically. The industry seems to be impotent or unwilling to help hold the line on the costs.
